A Sweet Taste of Spring: Rhubarb Crisp

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Rhubarb Crisp This crisp is everything a crisp should be: tender pieces of rhubarb in a thick sauce under a crunchy layer of streusel. The trick is baking the rhubarb in stages, then stirring in a pinch of sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize some of its sharp acidity. The result is tart but mellow and beautifully aromatic. If you're not into the idea of pure rhubarb, try a Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp instead.

Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (and Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Hamachi Poke With Cucumber and Avocado This colorful, crunchy poke takes only 10 minutes to make, so skip the stop at your favorite poke place and DIY. One bite of the rich hamachi, onion, scallion, cucumber, avocado, and steamed rice, and we bet this recipe will find its way into the weekly spring and summer rotation.       TUESDAY Pan-Seared Duck Breast If duck breast is something you've only had in a restaurant, it's time to change that! Duck is easy to cook at home, safe to consume medium-rare, and the perfect combination of juicy and crispy when cooked correctly. Serve it with a simple pan sauce flavored with orange and white wine, and take Tuesday-night dinner up a notch.  WEDNESDAY Pressure Cooker Corn Risotto  With a pressure cooker, you can stop seeing risotto as a labor-intensive meal and see it as an easy weeknight one instead. In this bright-yellow bowl, the addition of corn to the rice imparts a sweet flavor throughout. It's delightfully rich and filling, so don't be surprised if you have leftovers. Plus, you'll want them for tomorrow.  THURSDAY Riselotes al Salto (Elote-Flavored Risotto Pancake) Time to take out last night's risotto. No, not to reheat it, but to turn it into something completely new and equally delicious. That risotto can be fried up into a crispy pancake and topped with the seasonings of elotes, Mexican street corn. We're talking plenty of chipotle mayo, curds of Cotija cheese, bright cilantro, and fresh lime.  FRIDAY French Onion Strata (Savory Bread Pudding) A French onion strata is exactly what you make when you're craving French onion soup, but you're not so sure it's soup season anymore. It's a savory bread pudding packed with caramelized Spanish onions and Gruyère cheese.      Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors have been dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  One-Bowl, Overnight Cinnamon Rolls We're just going to take a wild guess that most mothers would be delighted to wake up to the sweet, buttery scent of cinnamon rolls on their celebratory day. These rolls require just one bowl and can be made a day in advance before being baked and frosted, so there's really no excuse to not have a hot plate of buns, covered in cream cheese frosting, waiting on the kitchen table.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
